We have been going to the Ivy for years and wanted to try out the new restaurant. It did not disappoint. The atmosphere was romantic and the details were intentional. The Carpaccio was melt in your mouth delicious. The crab & artichoke “lasagne” was divine. A lot of crab. My husband got the wagu NY strip and he enjoyed it! 10/10 would recommend for a nice meal and great experience.

Amazing hospitality from the moment we walked through the doors. Dave was exceptional—attentive, calm, and perfectly timed with every dish. A kiss to the Chef! Every bite was as extraordinary as the first, an unforgettable experience created by true culinary talent. On our way out, the young lady at the host stand jumped out to open the door for us—such a small gesture, but it truly put the cherry on top. Valet was respectful and quick, making the entire experience flawless. Huge shoutout Luella for setting the bar incredibly high. Coming from NY, which is usually hard to top, you all went above and beyond. My utmost respect.

Luella in Buckhead is one of those rare spots that effortlessly blends elegance with warmth. From the moment you walk in, the dimly lit ambiance sets the tone. It is sultry enough for a date night, yet relaxed enough to enjoy with friends. The low lighting, soft chatter, and subtle music create a space that feels both exclusive and inviting.
Our waitress, Samantha, was phenomenal! She was attentive without hovering and clearly knew the menu inside out. She made excellent recommendations, and her energy added a personal touch that made our night feel special.
Now let’s talk food, because Luella delivers. We started with the Wagyu croquettes, which were rich, crispy perfection in every bite. The crab and artichoke lasagna was unexpectedly indulgent, creamy, layered, and full of flavor, easily one of the standout dishes of the evening. For entrées, we shared the NY Strip and the Filet, both cooked to absolute perfection, tender and bursting with flavor. The Caico e Pepe was a simple yet comforting classic, and the Gouda fries were pure heaven! Golden, cheesy, and completely addictive.
To top it all off, I paired my meal with a wonderful glass of Cabernet that complemented the richness of the dishes beautifully. Every sip and bite felt intentional. A perfect balance of sophistication and comfort.
One small note, the signage could definitely be better. I actually passed the valet on my first attempt! A clearer entrance sign would make a great first impression for such a fantastic spot.
Whether you’re looking for a cozy night with friends or a romantic dinner for two, Luella is a must-visit. It’s one of those places where conversation flows easily, the food leaves a lasting impression, and you already start planning your next visit before dessert hits the table.

Dinner at Luella last night was exceptional from start to finish. We began with the Caesar salad and the Tuna Veil — both beautifully done, fresh, and balanced. For entrées, we had the steak and the black cod, and each one was cooked perfectly. The cod in particular was stunning — delicate, flavorful, and plated with real finesse. This kitchen clearly knows what it’s doing.
Service was excellent throughout the evening. We didn’t catch our server’s name, but they were attentive, warm, and consistent, adding to the overall experience without ever feeling intrusive.
There is one small detail worth noting: each time the front door opened for arriving guests, a noticeable draft came through the dining room. It’s certainly not a deal-breaker, but during the winter months it does make an impact. A simple door cover or insulation panel would completely resolve the issue.
Otherwise, Luella delivered on every level — exceptional food, great energy, and a beautifully designed space. The bar has a sexy, intimate vibe, and this is absolutely going to become one of our new go-to spots. A truly special evening.

Absolutely stunning in every aspect! The space is just gorgeous and if they let me I swear I would live there. All of the service staff was so attentive, knowledgeable, and inviting, it’s hard to believe they just opened.
We started with the Bone Marrow and the Pugliese burrata, just incredible all around. We ordered the surf & turf roll, the NY strip (cooked to absolute perfection), and the hand-cut pappardelle for our main. Finished with the Banana Fosters Cheesecake & it was just the cherry on top to an outstanding meal. It was some of the best food I’ve ever eaten in my life, everything was so thoughtfully done I can’t even explain how blown away I was.
Luella is exactly what I’ve been needing — a gorgeous space, impeccable service, and food that is truly exciting. I can’t wait to come back and see how they continue to elevate the dining scene in Buckhead.

We visited Luella during its opening week, and it’s already clear this restaurant is setting a new standard in Atlanta. The atmosphere is a perfect, refined and warm. It feels special the second you step through the door.
The food was outstanding and every plate was delicious. The service matched the caliber of the meal: attentive without being overbearing, genuinely friendly, and incredibly polished for a brand-new opening. We came as a couple for our first visit, and have already booked reservations when we can come back with friends. Highly recommend.

Such a great time! It exceeded my expectations. The food was memorable. Definitely order the burrata. I haven't had burrata like that anywhere in Atlanta. Went during their first days open and the server was already incredibly knowledgable on the menu. The staff was friendly and attentive. The space is fun for a friend's night out and sexy for a date night. The cocktails were perfect. Beautiful place.

The food here is incredible. The cornbread and caviar is a do not miss. The burrata app, the pastas, tuna veil, tomahawk steak and the Mushroom Marsala were all Michelin caliber. Can't say enough about how creative and well executed this menu is.

The food was killer. Such a wide selection of dishes to cover all tastes and preferences. There was a great selection of wine to pair with my filet. The appetizers, sides, and desserts are sizable, so bring your appetite. Fun and chic cocktails, service with a smile, and an unmatched ambience rounded out my experience
